NCAA Basketball Conference Play 3 Team Parlay

As we enter first round of conference play, some matchups should be glaring at you to bet on. Here is Wednesday’s best bet on a three team parlay.

Southwest Athletic Conference Quarterfinals: Jackson State Tigers (19-11, 17-1 in SWAC) vs. Grambling State Tigers (6-20, 4-14 in SWAC)

Sportsbook: (*note lines are approximations as they have not been posted at the time of writing)

Spread: Jackson State: -11.5

Over/Under: 131

Money Line: Jackson State -800, Grambling State +650

Jackson State was the cream of the crop this year in the southwest but played in a lot of close games. Their 2-10 out of conference record is a glaring indicator that if this team does not win the conference, they will not be tourney bound and that this game even against a team with a horrendous record may be a closer call than the spread would like you to believe.

Grambling State took this number one team in the SWAC to overtime on February 20^th and beat them soundly at home in January. Look for this game on neutral ground to be closer than the spread indicates as this Jackson State team may fall prey to the other Tigers of the SWAC.

Final: Grambling State 61 – Jackson State 60. Take Grambling State and the under.

Big 12 Conference Tournament 1^st round: Oklahoma Sooners: (13-17, 4-12 in Big 12) @ Oklahoma State Cowboys (21-9, 9-7 in Big 12)

Bookmaker Review: (*lines approximated)

Spread: Oklahoma State -7.5

Over/Under: 149

Money Line: Oklahoma State: -350, Oklahoma +225

An in-state rivalry will highlight play in the first round of the Big 12 tournament this year when the Sooners and Cowboys square off. It has been a tale of falling from grace for Oklahoma, who looks destined not to have any form of postseason play ahead of them. For the Cowboys, they have all but clinched a berth in the field of 64 and now look to improve their seed with a strong run in the conference tournament of toughest conference in Basketball this season.

Oklahoma State is led by junior guard James Anderson, who is 3^rd in the NCAA in scoring at 22.9 points per game to go along with 6 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Anderson is shooting 47% from the field and 36% from three. Oklahoma State is a veteran group and looks ripe for a run in both the Big 12 and the NCAA tournament.

Final: Oklahoma State 82 – Oklahoma 66. Take Oklahoma State and the under.

Big 12 Conference Tournament 1^st round: Nebraska Cornhuskers (14-17, 2-14 in Big 12) @ Missouri Tigers (22-9, 10-6 in Big 12)

Odds on NCAA Basketball: (*lines approximated)

Spread: Missouri -8

Over/Under: 130

Money Line: Missouri -380, Nebraska +270

Missouri is led by strong guard play with senior guards Zaire Taylor and J.T. Tiller providing the experience and sophomores Kim English, Marcus Denmon and F Lawrence Bowers providing the scoring with all three averaging double figures. Missouri has seven players averaging more than 8 points a game and play a ball movement game with their guards.

Nebraska struggled mightily this season against the better competition in the Big 12 after beating up on a weak out of conference schedule early on. Missouri has beaten Nebraska by 17 and 15 this year already and the Cornhuskers look primed to be a doormat again Wednesday.

Final: Missouri 69 – Nebraska 53. Take the Tigers and the under.

Best Bet: Take Grambling State and the points, Missouri and Oklahoma State for a nice 3 team parlay.
